Medicare Addresses Payment Concerns Related to H1N1
Cheryl Clark, for HealthLeaders Media, August 28, 2009
"Will reimbursement for H1N1 vaccine administration be the same as for seasonal influenza?" Answer: "Yes, the payment amount for the H1N1 vaccine's administration will be the same as the payment for administration of seasonal flu vaccine. Multiple payments for administration will be available if the H1N1 vaccine requires multiple doses."
Other topics deal with payment adjustments in an emergency or disaster, waiver of Medicare requirements, physician care, ambulance, lab and other diagnostic services, drugs and vaccines under Part B, durable medical equipment, end stage renal disease facilities, home healthcare and hospice services, EMTALA, critical access hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and mental healthcare.
